I will shortly get a set of Reflex ceramic rims, that I want to lace to black record hubs, with back spokes.
Looking for suggestions where to find a good price for Record hubs.

Does it have to be black Record hubs? If not, you may want to consider the "grey-anodized" 2006 Centaur hubs that Nashbar is blowing out.

For $70, you can get the grey Centaur rear hub, which is like 10 or 15g heavier than Record. The innards are exactly alike and the only difference I believe is it comes with a 3mm screw instead of a bolt. You can swap the bolt out with one from home depot and its basically the same thing. Check it out:

Good Luck!

I just ordered two of these puppies. Good as record, plastic instead of alloy bearing tension thingie and alloy instead of ti pawl carrier. You'll never tell the difference after the wheel is built.
